Note: please forgive me if this post appears twice. I think I posted it from
an email address that is not subscribed to the Extropians list, so I'm
posting it again from one that is.

There is at least one US news source that seems to be giving a more balanced
picture of what's going on:
=============================
Democracy Now! is a national, listener-sponsored public radio and TV show,
pioneering the largest community media collaboration in the country. The
program was launched six years ago as the only daily election show in public
broadcasting. Because of its success, Democracy Now! broadened its focus and
became a national news show committed to bringing the voices of the
marginalized to the airwaves on issues ranging from the global to the local.
==============================
You can listen to their unembedded reporters online:

Meanwhile, Lee Corbin seems to be offended because Damien Broderick posted a
link to a news story that contained reports of Iraqi casualties. I would not
presume to tell Lee or anyone else what their political opinions should be;
but when one forms his opinions with blinders on, I think it's safe to say
that his opinions are probably not consistent with reality.
